Tris(1,10-phenathroline) Fe(II) chelate에 의한 undecylenic acid의 흡광광도 정량법

The spectrophotometric determination of undecylenic acid using tris (1,10-phenanthroline) Fe(II) chelate

A new spectrophotometric method was established for the determination of undecylenic acid. The method is based on the solvent extraction into nitrobenzene of the ion pair formed between tris(1,10-phenanthroline)Fe(II) chelate and the anion of undecylenic acid. The maximum absorbance of the extract in the organic phase was at 518nm. A maximum extraction was obtained at pH 9-11, when excess of at least 50-fold(molar) of the phenanthroline-Fe(II) chelate to undecylenic acid was present. The color intensity of the extracted species remained constant at room temperature for the several hours after separation of the organic layer. A linear relationship was obtained over the tested range of 5-20${\gamma}$/ml of undecylenic acid. The effect of several other fungicids on this method was investigated. The method was applied to the determination of undecylenic acid in preparations and the results were in good agreement with those added amounts.
